Academy Gumiho is a Magic Genius 150

Winter of the North (5)

There was no need to overthink the contract.

For some reason, it seemed I had the upper hand, as long as I stayed within reasonable limits.

I realized this when my desired requirements were being accepted.

[The submitted opinion has been established.]

[The opponent is reviewing the opinion…]

…

[The contract is established according to the opinion.]

Huh?

‘Is this really being established?’

I made the contract advantageous to me, just in case.

To establish something like this.

Are they out of their mind?

‘I don’t think so.’

The contract began to be executed the moment it was established.

This world intends to fulfill simple requests first.

It took away the source of the omnipotence overflowing in my body.

[The trait, “Conditional Sword Saint,” is ■■.]

[You can no longer borrow the power of your main body.]

One trait disappeared from the status window.

The result was more enormous than I thought.

“…It hurts.”

My muscles won’t hold strength.

The trained will is gradually scattered.

My movements become sluggish, as if I had a lump of lead on my body.

The pain I had forgotten for a moment with adrenaline rushed in like a tsunami, taking over my nervous system.

I can’t feel anything but pain.

‘I’ve been pushing my body way too hard.’

That’s why I’m short-lived.

I know why I die early.

With a body that doesn’t even have a long lifespan, I’m personally practicing all sorts of nonsense.

That limit is coming far too quickly.

It’s really new to me.

I realized that fact so desperately and clearly with my body.

But what goes must come.

This contract is much more advantageous to me.

A sweet fruit beyond pain awaits me.

[There are a total of three conditions requested.]

[The first request, 100 points (P) are paid!]

[Points (P) can be used right now.]

100 points.

It’s only 10% of the 1,000 points that the system first called, but in fact, this is not enough.

In the first place, points are not the point of this contract.

The second and third requests can be seen as the real point of contention.

‘Now, let’s see how well you kept my requests.’

I was full of thoughts of causing a riot if things went wrong.

With that in mind, I read the next message that came to mind.

[The second request, 「Rosario of the Holy Light」 is paid!]

[It is a sacred object whose original is in another dimension!]

[The original is being brought in through the ■■ barrier.]

The message was randomly broken by the last sentence.

It was difficult to read the sentence because several words were broken, but the moment I felt a suitable weight in my hand.

I didn’t care about that kind of sentence.

“This… suits me. Even the unique power contained in the scratches and the cross is the same.”

─Oh my god… I never thought there would be such beautiful jewelry.

─Hey, Dalgi. Can’t you see that’s a kind of holy relic? The same vengeful spirit as me. Even those whose roots are in demons and evil will be half exorcised the moment they touch that.

Something fell onto my hand from the air.

It was a pair of miracles in the shape of a small cross, filled with holiness.

「Rosario of the Holy Light」

Grade: Legend

Description: Saint, who wished that those suffering in the world would be reduced even a little, processed the rosary that wore around neck and the rosary of the Sword Saint into the form of earrings.

The earrings were with the Sword Saint until the moment he saved the world, so they became legendary jewelry recorded in legends. The earrings exert their power when there is a pair, and if only one is worn, only part of the effect is applied.

*Causality Reversal

Reverses the cause and effect of wounds and injuries. Causality is avoided depending on the origin of the part that causes the ability, causing unreasonable miracles. Instead, it requires considerable stamina and magic power.

For certain targets, it may cause unilateral favoritism that is neither a bargain for a price nor an equal exchange, so bad luck may occur in some cases.

*Holy Protection Manifestation

By injecting a certain amount of mana, a holy protection is manifested to protect the target from all kinds of attacks, including physical attacks. The range of the holy protection cannot exceed 20m, and a time of one *kak* [unit of time] is required for reuse.

*Holy Nail Implementation

Implements the holy nail that hung the saint. The holy nail denies and binds those with high saintliness and virtue. The length of the holy nail reaches one *cheok* (尺, 23~30cm) [traditional Korean unit of measurement].

*Impurity Exorcism

When exorcising unclean things, it suppresses and suppresses their power. The intensity and strength increase the dirtier the target is. Their exorcism will be a sacrifice for the Holy Mother, and a memorial for her.

“It wasn’t originally such a complicated casting.”

Damn it.

What’s so long and complicated about this?

Originally, the rosary had no power or ability.

If I were to give it meaning, it would be one of the gifts I received from my teacher, and at the same time, her legacy forms a pair, right?

There is no value beyond that.

There shouldn’t have been.

‘Did the system give corresponding additional abilities according to the history of the rosary?’

I thought about it, but the possibility was low.

I don’t know what that guy is.

Considering that he was trying to take away my power in any way, there was a possibility that it was an inherent ability from the beginning.

That means.

‘Did I only know the true value of my teacher’s keepsake after going through external factors such as the system and the status window?’

It’s a disaster.

There is no disaster like this.

Even if I didn’t know because I cherished my teacher’s rosary as a keepsake, I can make allowances.

The other rosary was a gift.

That was long before my teacher passed away.

I received it on my 18th birthday.

‘…Let’s put it on our ears and think about it.’

Let’s finish blaming ourselves later.

There is something to do now.

I put on a pair of rosaries on my ears.

The earrings that I had previously put on to increase my stats and for defense were thrown into the subspace in the ring.

“It’s always a beautiful radiance.”

Rosario in the shape of a cross.

Usually, what people call a rosary is mostly worn around the neck or on the hand.

I have a rosary I received from my teacher and a rosary I received as my teacher’s keepsake.

I had a total of two, so I processed them into earrings to carry them at the same time.

This rosary, which contains my teacher’s prayers and miracles, has more effect than an ordinary amulet just by wearing it like this.

Now, this is the end.

Depending on how far the system accepts this request, my perception of it will be judged.

[The third request, modify the details of 「Simgeomjiro」!]

[Most of the details are modified requirements.]

[It is presumed that the requirements were created based on the trait, 「Conditional Sword Saint」.]

[……!]

[……!!!]

[The details are too similar to 「Conditional Sword Saint」!]

Of course.

‘In the first place, I made it similarly after looking at that.’

The only difference is that, since the name of the trait refers to Simgeom [a type of sword].

Is the focus of the ability directed at Simgeom, and is it balanced by adding a more powerful penalty?

There is no difference beyond that.

That’s why you should only focus on me when you’re doing something with me.

‘I don’t know why you can’t pay attention to me so much.’

Now that the game has been set up like this.

Clearly, the game has tilted in my favor.

All that remains is to protect this board to the fullest.

[Someone unknown was amazed at your request. They protest that this is an unfair deal!]

[However, causality has confirmed that it is maintaining an appropriate balance.]

[Someone unknown doubted your eyes after seeing the powerful penalty.]

[Someone unknown says in embarrassment that you are the only person in the universe who would offer such terrible torture and life as collateral.]

Is that so strange?

The penalty I put in is not that long.

The wounds suffered after using the trait, 「Simgeomjiro」, cause 10 times more pain in the future. Not only that, but the more you use it, the closer you get to death, and after exhausting all your vitality, including stamina and energy.

You mortgage your afterlife and inflict all kinds of torture on yourself.

Applying honey to the wound and feeding it to the worms.

Nailing to a cross and hanging.

Tearing off limbs at will.

Chopping off the neck with a dull knife, slowly killing it several times, etc.

I decided to gradually apply the highest level of torture I knew.

‘Of course, in a situation where I feel 10 times the pain.’

……Looking at it like this.

It sounds like a request written by a pervert with masochistic tendencies.

But I don’t have such tendencies.

The system that controlled the status window also knew that.

The system, frowning at the penalty that had no minimal respect for the dead, had no choice but to nod.

He knew that there was nothing as meaningless as mentioning something to someone who was prepared to face such a terrible end.

He signed the contract as it was.

[Someone unknown accepts the third request.]

[The trait, 「Simgeomjiro」, is completely reorganized!]

[Time remaining until reorganization: 9 minutes 59 seconds]

[Time remaining until reorganization: 9 minutes 58 seconds]

……

[All contracts will be concluded in 10 minutes.]

[The ‘remnants of the Sword Saint’ remaining in your body will also disappear in 10 minutes.]

The time I can wield a sword is now 10 minutes.

After that, it will be impossible to create sword energy, and the body, which has been heightened by adrenaline, will gradually sink into pain.

I’ll probably be incapacitated.

“Let’s finish quickly.”

There is no reason to move slowly anymore.

Now that I’ve decided to speed up.

I folded the space and ran without caring about the injuries to my knees and ankles.

「Sunbo」 [a movement technique]

Space and space are folded.

A single step running over it

Then, the remnants of the knights who had gathered in one place after recovering caught my eye.

As those who survived in the collapsed mansion, carrying heavy armor and swords.

They were men with their own skills.

In the terminology of this world, they are experts.

It was a gathering of knights who had reached the realm of experts.

“There! A black monster is coming!!”

“Everyone, swing your swords. There is nothing as meaningless as defending or preparing. Didn’t you see the collapsed mansion just now? Pour out a desperate blow with the determination to die!!”

“…I can’t understand why those with such talent are so obsessed with the relationship between knights and lords.”

“There’s no need to understand, Black Fox of the South! We have sworn to be loyal to the one who brought spring to the cold land, even if the North collapses.”

“…You’re risking your life for something like that?”

“Spring is more precious to us than life!”

As I decided to increase the speed.

The knights’ gathering was about to be lightly skipped, but the knights’ fighting spirit, armed with sword energy, faintly distorted the space.

If I don’t want to slow down, I have to kill them and move on.

‘It’s a pity.’

If such talent existed in my world.

I could have made him a hero who sacrificed his life for a cause, not such loyalty.

A mere knight and a hero who sacrificed himself.

Everyone knows which modifier would be more appealing.

Out of pity, I slowed down slightly.

I delayed the step I was taking by one step.

Sssseuk!

The foot scrapes the floor.

The speed slows down due to friction, and the ankle is strained.

While the fragile legs were twisting like that.

Cheok [sound of movement].

Lowering my waist, I unsheathed the katana from my waist and moved my body greatly.

Adjust balance by lowering the body from a fixed position.

Move your waist greatly and put great force into the sword.

Seureung!

At that time, a pure white sword energy shining on the sword.

The sword energy containing brilliant starlight cut the scene in front of me up and down along with the sword.

The movement is once.

「Cham(斬)」[Slash]

Beheading hundreds.

The moment I swung my sword.

The sword energy split the world in half.

Up and down.

The knights’ waists in between were helplessly cut off, and the remains of the buildings behind them were also cut in half.

Hududuk [sound of falling].

The severed upper body fell to the floor.

The floor is soaked with blood and organs.

I, who created an indescribably terrible scene, opened my mouth as if it was nothing.

“Do you want to try eating livers in bulk?”

─Are you asking me?

“I remembered hearing a rumor that foxes like liver.”

─Hmm, chewing on human flesh is not my taste.

“Is that so?”

Then I can’t help it.

I can’t just let it rot like this.

“I’ll have to burn it.”

Next time, let’s try eating *sundae* [Korean blood sausage].

As if this is really nothing.

Tak!

The flames that burst out like lightning when I snapped my fingers.

The fire that burned all the corpses left only ashes in an instant and was scattered into the air by the cold north wind.

It’s a troublesome task.

I’ll have to burn everything from now on.

─Young master! I like liver?!?

“I didn’t really mean to eat it.”

─Still, it’s a waste…

“I’ll buy you liver and *sundae* at a snack bar later. You two can eat together.”

A joke to lighten the mood.

However, it seems that no one took this as a joke.

Well, it’s really soon now.

There’s no need to lighten the mood.

‘It’s really just a little bit now.’

The presence of the viscount is felt right nearby.

The direction is down.

I can dig the ground with a sword like an excavator.

I ran forward because I wasn’t confident in dealing with the aftermath.

As I continued forward, the wreckage of the collapsed mansion blocked my path.

If so, just like I cut and burned the corpses a while ago.

It’s enough to break and burn the wreckage.

「Gwanhongil(貫紅一)」[Piercing Crimson One]

Originally, it was a technique used with the spear I received as a gift from the old man who taught you spear fighting, and it was focused on penetration.

I created a spear with flames and pierced the way as it was.

The path I passed was covered in flames.

No matter what happens to the remaining wreckage.

As if piercing the enemy’s torso with a spear.

As I squeezed and pierced through the wreckage, I found the way to the underground before I knew it.

There was a huge door made of bronze on the floor.

The door was locked.

At the sight, I threw the spear of fire I was holding with all my might.

A long and straight javelin.

The spear that collided properly with the locked door burned as it was.

At the same time, the door was forcibly pierced with great pressure.

Kwagwagwagwagang!!!

A huge metallic sound spread in all directions.

When the door was forcibly opened, what was revealed there were endless stairs leading to the underground and knights in armor guarding the place.

I killed them like that, but they’re still not all dead.

I was newly surprised by the fact that there were so many knightly talents in this harsh land.

But it’s enough to kill more.

Without thinking much, I created a spear of fire.

It stretched straight towards the underground.

Puk! Puk! Puk!

The knight is stabbed in the abdomen by a spear and burns instantly without even uttering a will.

Did I kill about 30 people like that?

There was a knight who barely swung his shield and sword to block my spear.

However, it wasn’t as talented as Knight Commander Termia.

The shield and sword were heated by the fire and dropped from his hand, and he was panting.

He just blocked it once.

That’s what happened.

“I’m repeatedly sorry. If you had devoted yourself as a martial artist rather than a knight, you would have had the talent to not only block but also counterattack.”

“Who, who are you? Who the hell are you to spill so much blood here?!”

“A guest of your master.”

In other words, an assassin.

Well, it’s a lot louder than a normal assassin.

Anyway, if there are no witnesses, it’s an assassination.

I didn’t care much.

“You, you came to find the children, didn’t you?! That’s right! Right!”

“…What?”

Children?

Are you talking about students?

‘All the traces of those children are felt in the city center?’

I wondered who the word was referring to.

The panting knight opened his mouth with an attitude that he wanted to tell everything in order to live.

“Aren’t you taking all the beggar-like children in this chaos? If not, why would you come all the way here?!”

“Were the vagrants kidnapped?”

“…Didn’t you know? Then, by any chance, that person…!!”

Seogeok [sound of cutting]!

I didn’t have time to delay any longer, so I cut off his neck with a spear.

The spear made of flames cauterized the wound at the same time as it cut, preventing bleeding. Even if the person whose neck was cut off cannot live, it was possible to prevent blood from dripping messily.

I killed the knight without hesitation and went further down.

In the process, I killed 10 more knights.

I finally succeeded in coming down to the underground joint.

A wide space that was hard to believe was underground was 펼쳐져 [spread out] in the underground.

‘The viscount is somewhere in this wide space… and he said there are vagrants too.’

That seems to be right.

It’s too wide to find easily even with the purple eyes, but I was able to find one trace that seemed to belong to the viscount and several small traces in this space.

“…Shall I sweep them all away with fire?”

In fact, that’s the easiest way.

If you light a fire in such a deep space, the oxygen will disappear quickly, so it’s perfect for killing by suffocation.

But…….

‘Then the children will die too.’

I was lost in thought for a moment.

The legs that had not hesitated even if there were any obstacles in front of them stopped taking steps only then.

Anyway, this world is a land that has been destroyed a long time ago.

The knights and children who seem to be alive are ultimately closer to holograms. Even if they feel emotions and shed blood.

They are fundamentally different from us.

They are already dead people.

Just one step away.
